‘Vaxmobile’ visits 5TCC By mAtthEw FERREmI mferremi@liherald.com

Matthew Ferremi/Herald

mAtthEw ARRoyARE, 20, of Inwood, received a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence on April 15.

After spending weeks looking for a Covid-19 vaccination appointment, Dan Segarra took a short walk from his business, Warrior Scholar Martial Arts, on Lawrence Avenue in Lawrence, to the Five Towns Community Center for his first inoculation. Segarra received one of 115 doses of the Pfizer vaccine administered at the community center on April 15, with the assistance of the Town of Hempstead and Mount Sinai South Nassau’s “Vaxmobile.” The singleshot Johnson & Johnson

vaccine was originally scheduled to be administered at the center two days earlier, but that was postponed after federal health officials called for a pause of the vaccine because of a potential issue with blood clots. “I was trying to get a shot for weeks before I realized the community center was giving out shots,” Segarra said. “It was fantastic when I found that out, because it’s literally walking distance from my office. It was the easiest shot I ever got, and I barely felt it.” The Vaxmobile made its debut in Uniondale on Continued on page 8

Gabriel Leifer is honored for his success on the court By JEFFREy BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

For Lawrence native Gabriel Leifer, choosing to focus on basketball instead of playing floor hockey in seventh grade, at the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach (now in Woodmere), was like winning the lottery. Leifer, 23, never looked back. After four years of playing basketball at Davis Renov Stahler High School for Boys, in Woodmere, he became, in the words of his DRS coach, Avrum Stein, “the most dominating player” in the Metropolitan Yeshiva High School Athletic League.

“In high school, I wasn’t thinking about college [ball], I was thinking about getting better,” Leifer said. “In between 10th and 11th grade, one of my best friends switched to HAFTR” — the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School — “and I had to step up, take over and grew into the player I started to become in college.” After four years at Yeshiva University, which Leifer said complemented his observant Jewish lifestyle, he is graduating with a long list of accomplishments on the court, and will step into a job at the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers this

based group is “very excited” as the bond act could aid in shaping Long Island’s future to create a more sustainable environment for the bi-county region, especially for the vulnerable South Shore. “Restoring wetlands will ensure we have a strong buffer against wind and w ave d a m a g e t o t h e m a i n l a n d , ” Esposito said in an email, referring to the South Shore. “There will also be additional funding to advance renewable energy, reduce energy consumption, preserve land and upgrade our drinking water and wastewater infrastructure. These prog rams are an investment in our future and are critical to ensure a healthy and more vibrant state.”

The New York League of Conservation Voters also supported the bond. “The environmental bond act will invest in critical programs to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect clean water, all while creating good-paying, green jobs,” Julie Tighe, the group’s president, said in an email. “It will put thousands of New Yorkers back to work protecting our water and open spaces while prioritizing frontline communities. The bond act will fund crucial investments in coastal resiliency so that Long Island is better able to withstand the next Sandy, which is what stands out to us most. We urge voters to support the bond act when they cast their ballot next year.”

Proposed Peninsula library budget remains flat By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

The past year has brought many changes to the usual manner of life because of the coronavirus pandemic and libraries were no different. Forced to close because of the Covid-19 virus, libraries found other ways to serve their patrons. Peninsula Public Library that serves the communities included in the Lawrence School District, implemented curbside pickup and virtual programming, while adding more than 30,000 items to its collection and bagged 70,648 books to go for its cardholders. “It’s been a challenge every day,” said Library Director Carolynn Matulewicz, “We’re trying to do the best we can.” That best includes accommodating patrons by helping them print items and bringing materials out to their cars. Understanding the financial challenges many patrons are facing through the pandemic, library officials said that they think its their fiscal responsibility to present a budget that does not add to that burden. The proposed budget for 2021-2022 remains the same as the current fiscal plan: $3,108,250. Matulewicz said that though PPL has not served as many patrons as normal, cardholders have taken to the virtual Zoom programming set up by Program Coordinator Janet Schneider with

many Florida snowbirds even tuning in, Matulewicz said. “We are still one of the top circulating libraries in Nassau County,” Matulewicz said, adding that as chair of the county’s library director committee she hears all the challenges libraries face. “We received a card with a $100 for the staff. Our patrons are so thankful and that is our reward in all this.” Even when life returns to “normal” PPL will maintain contactless pickup with lockers patrons can open with their library card to pick up materials at their convenience, Matulewicz said, as well doing programming as a hybrid of in-person and remote access. Incumbent Trustee Jeff Leb, 42, is not running for a third five-year term. Because of an issue with a possible candidate’s petitions there is no official candidate. The person with the most write-in votes will win the board seat. Budget and trustee voting is on Tuesday, May 11 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., along with the school budget and trustee vote. Voting takes place at the Primary School at the Number Two School at 1 Donahue Ave. in Inwood; Lawrence Middle School at 195 Broadway in Lawrence; Lawrence High School at 2 Reilly Road in Lawrence; and Atlantic Beach Village at 65 The Plaza in Atlantic Beach.

Arbitman wins county title By MATTHEW FERREMI mferremi@liherald.com

Hewlett High School senior tennis player Rachel Arbitman capped off her high school tennis career with a recordbreaking victory at Eisenhower Park on April 17. Arbitman became the first female tennis player to win four county championships after she defeated Friends Academy’s Isabella Sha, 6-1, 5-7, 6-0. It’s Arbitman’s third overall county singles title as she won a doubles county championship in 2019. Arbitman said she did not know about the record until after her match. “After the match, I was being interviewed by a tennis-based magazine and they told me about the record,” she said. “I told them I had no idea and I looked at them astonished. It was really awesome to find that out.” Arbitman is also a twotime state champion. Hewlett girl’s tennis coach Abby Samlin said that Arbitman has been a joy to coach ever since she joined the varsity team as a freshman in 2017. “Any coach would want to have a player like Rachel,” Samlin said.

PSEG Long Island is proud to safely support local businesses like Sir Shave with our energy efficiency programs. LED lighting rebates are just one of the ways we are helping thousands of businesses save energy and money every year. Just as the Wyandanch community counts on Sir Shave,

“What she has done for our program is incredible. Usually a top ranked player opts to not play high school tennis, but Rachel always wanted to play and has embraced all of it from the day she walked in as a freshman.” Samlin added that in addition to Arbitman's county title, freshman Nyla Gresfield finished third in this year’s county tournament. The camaraderie of being on a team has always been fun for Arbitman. “For me, I’ve always said playing high school tennis was the best decision I’ve ever made. Tennis is such an individual sport,” she said. “Coming together as a team and representing your school is such a different level of fun.” Arbitman heads to Harvard University in the fall and will continue her tennis career. She said that she will always look back fondly at her high school tennis career. “Being able to get my senior season was a dream come true,” she said. “I know some seniors who didn't get to have their senior season and it was really awesome to have a season and finish it off in this amazing way.”

Nassau County police arrested an Inwood resident for driving while intoxicated after the man at 10:40 p.m. on April 13 allegedly left the scene of a vehicular accident at 679 Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence. Police responded to the call and found a red Ford pickup truck at the intersection of Wheelock Avenue and West Broadway in Inwood. The pickup truck was on Wheelock Avenue, facing south on the north side of the road. Inside the pickup truck were two women and three young children. After finding the person who’s vehicle was struck and the subsequent investigation, police said that the pickup truck was driven by Julio Cesar Portillo, 50, of West Broadway at the time of the accident, and it was determined that at the time of the accident, he was intoxicated.

Four arrested in alleged murder A car pursuit that began in Far Rockaway and ended in Inwood on April 14 culminated in the arrest of five people involved in the alleged murder of Nazareth Claure, 31, a Rockaway resident who previously lived in Hewlett. According to law enforcement officials, Allan Lopez, 22, aka Sergio, is charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Rigeo Yohairo, 20, and Jose Sarmiento, 21, are both charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Rodolfo Lopez, 26 is charged with concealment of a human corpse and tampering with physical evidence. Anander Henriquez, 28, Claure’s boyfriend was charged with strangulation assault related to an attack on her earlier this month, but not her death. Claure had gotten an order of protection against Henriquez in November. Authorities said that agents from a

federal task force in Queens saw several men put what appeared to be a large object in the trunk of a car before 2 a.m. on that Wednesday on Foam Place in Far Rockaway. The agents followed the sedan onto the Nassau Expressway and pulled the vehicle over by Bayview Avenue on the roadway. Noticing a strong odor coming from the trunk they discovered Claure’s body, wrapped in a blanket. She apparently was stabbed multiple times, possibly by a machete. The killing is connected to a domestic dispute between Claure and Henriquez. The four arrested were under investigation for their alleged affiliation with MS-13, officials said. The investigation continues and more arrests are possible, authorities said. –Jeffrey Bessen

and women helps to show the public that Jewish athletes, coaches, executives can make significant achievements in the world of sports, an area of Jewish accomplishment often overlooked,” Freedman wrote in an email. “By doing so, I think it helps to break down stereotypes that people have.” A 6-foot-6 forward, Leifer is much less a stereotype than a rare athlete. Three coaches described him as a selfless player who looks to pass before shooting and is more focused on winning than personal statistics. And Y.U. has done a lot of winning, running up a 36-0 record since a season-opening loss in November 2019. Leifer averaged nearly 17 points and 17 rebounds in the 2019-20 season, which ended with the Division III Maccabees ranked No. 8 in the nation, winning the program’s first two NCAA tournament games and making it to the Sweet 16 before the coronavirus pandemic halted all sports. The team finished with the best D-3 record in the country, 29-1. The Maccabees won all seven games they played in the truncated 2021 season.

A selfless player

Consistency and unselfishness were two of the first words Stein used to describe Leifer. “He was maturing physically toward the end of the year,” Stein said, referring to Leifer’s senior year at DRS, where Stein has coached for nearly nine years. “I knew he would be good in college, then he became the best player in the entire league.” Y.U. plays in the Skyline Conference. “He even dominated the interior. He’s smart and physically strong enough. I was thrilled with the success he’s had.” Going up against the Leifer-led DRS squad could not have been fun, but Evan Pickman, who coaches the Abraham Joshua Heschel School boys’ team, appreciated Leifer as an opponent, and as a player on the Maccabi USA U18 team that played in Santiago, Chile, in December 2015 and January 2016. “I recruited a very good team, mostly from our league,” said Pickman, who has coached for 53 years and at every level. “We had serious, intense practices like games, and Gabriel, from day one, just ate it up.” Playing lower- lAwrence nAtive caliber teams in the Pan American Maccabi Games, the squad captured the gold medal. Coaches like to say that you can tell what type of person a player is by the way he plays, Pickman said. “I saw how the DRS students idolized him as a classmate and a person, and how he treated them,” he said of Leifer. “He is a wonderful human

He is the complete package.” On the court, Leifer plays to win, and works to elevate his teammates. “Overall, he’s the most selfless player I’ve been around,” said Y.U. head coach Elliott Steinmetz, who recruited his fellow Five Towner. Steinmetz, who is also an attorney, is a lifelong Woodmere resident and has coached the Maccabees since 2014. Leifer’s court awareness is what caught Steinmetz’s attention. “It’s what I saw in him when recruiting him,” he said, “and in terms of his personality, he’s a giving person, and that comes out in the way he plays.” Refer ring to Michael Jordan’s thinking that playing doesn’t count unless you compete for a championship, Leifer said he would have rather played on a team with a less gaudy record that had been able to finish last season with a win or loss in the NCAA tournament. Steinmetz agreed, SkylineConference.org and to him it illustrates that Leifer GAbriel Leifer. understands the larger picture. “It says he recognizes what is ultimately important,” Steinmetz said, adding that everyone wants to win every game, but an occasional loss focuses players’ attention on improving and playing their best at playoff time.

As for being named one of the Jewish Sports Heritage Association’s outstanding Jewish college athletes of the year, Leifer showed the selflessness his coaches attested to. “I had people who supported me all the way, and it’s a testament to them,” he said. “I wasn’t aware such an award exist-

Lawrence High School’s top three scholars Valedictorian Amy Sharin, salutatorian Nader Daruvala and honor speaker Daniela Andrade are the top three scholars of the class of 2021 for Lawrence High School. “We are immensely proud of the hard work that Amy, Nader, and Daniela have put in during their academic careers,” Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said in a news release. “These students represent our district beautifully, and I have no doubt that they will succeed tremendously in whatever path they take in life.” Sharin is leaning to majoring in chemical engineering at either Rice or Cornell universities, where she has gained admission, and possibly work within the renewable energy and sustainability field. The high-level research she conducted on fuel cells through the Garcia Summer Scholars Program at Stony Brook was presented at the Materials Research Society fall conference. Sharin was also captain of the varsity girls’ basketball and soccer teams, and treasurer of the Tri-M Music Honor Society. Considered a dedicated student, Daruvala served as secretary of Key Club, junior vice president and vice president of Tri-M Music Honor Society. A two-time DECA internationals competitor, he is the principal clarinetist for the high school wind ensemble and took part in boys’ varsity cross country and track and field.

From sorrow to cheery, taking pride in Israel Jews across the world experienced an emotional roller coaster commemorating the successive holy Yoms of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Yom HaZikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) and Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day). The week began mourning the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, followed by a day to remember and honor those who gave their lives protecting Israel and then a full-scale celebration of the miracle that is the Jewish state. Gone is the somber mood as fireworks replace sirens in Israel. Some may wonder how we can go from the saddest day to the happiest day? How do we go from despair to joy so quickly? The juxtaposition of darkness to light is the miracle of the Jewish people. These holy days intertwine the past, present and future. Jews do not move forward without remembering the past. Israel’s independence is due to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. This remarkable transition from sorrow to celebration is the source of great strength, reflecting resilience, hope and belief. The Sefer Yetzirah says that “the existence of darkness underscores light, empha-

sizes the yearning for it.” The darkness of Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron help us appreciate the light of simcha on Yom Ha'Atzmaut. On April 21, HAFTR High School commemorated Yom HaShoah with a powerful schoolwide Zoom in which students and faculty recited psalms, l e a r n e d J e w i s h l aw s , heard words of inspiration from teachers and listened to testimony from survivors who expressed the role emunah (belief) had in their survival. On April 28, Yom HaZikaron, HAFTR paid tribute to the fallen soldiers by listening to several HAFTR alumni serving in the Israel D e f e n s e Fo r c e s s p e a k about protecting the Jewordana ish homeland. In the after noon, students and faculty gathered on the front lawn to recite psalms and watch the flag lowered to halfstaff. HAFTR marked the transition between the sadness of Yom HaZik a r o n a n d t h e j o y o f Yo m Ha'Atzmaut by breaking out Color War 5781. The themes of this year’s

color war were two concepts mentioned in Hatikvah, Israel’s national anthem, which have shaped and defined the Jewish people: tikvah (hope), and Zion (Jerusalem). Jews celebrate as one nation sovereigns of their own land and to hold onto the hope that with God’s help there will be the Beit Hamikdash (First Temple) in Zion The next day, students and faculty donned blue and white, representing their teams, Tikvah and Zion, respectively. Students competed against their classmates in events such as g a g a, musical chairs, relay races, basketball tic tac toe, Torah B ow l , I s r a e l T r iv i a , Brachot Bee and Minute astour to Win It, as students perfor med unusual and tricky tasks in under a minute. On Friday, the most awaited competitions in the grand finale event took place. Each team presented both the alma mater and Hebrew theme songs that they had written and rehearsed. The songs were heartfelt

hAFTr highlights

and related to the students’ experiences at HAFTR High School as well as their team’s theme. As each team sang, they displayed the immense achdut, (unity) of all HAFTR High students. The teams also presented their banners accompanied by words of Torah and inspiration, STEM projects, and comedy videos, all of which reflected the tremendous effort and creativity that students put into this year’s color war. All the seniors from both teams united to sing their own alma mater about our shared happy times and our sadness to be saying goodbye. The judges had extremely difficult decisions to make as all the final presentations were spectacular. Team Zion came out victorious. Yo m H a ' A t z m a u t C o l o r Wa r 5781/2021 promoted ruach, (spirit), and achdut, offering students an opportunity to connect with one another and share their talents and skills while planning, cheering, laughing and engaging in fun competitions. It was the perfect culmination to such an emotionally wrought week.

esides the obvious physical benefits, youth sports provide social interaction that also provides a degree of mental health. Since most sports require getting up close and personal with other athletes, the Covid-19 pandemic has created some challenges. "Initially, there was a fear of transmission of Covid-19 among athletes, especially with the contact sports. That is why a lot of these sports were canceled or postponed. But fortunately, we have not seen a rapid spread amongst contact sports," says Dr. Jennifer Maynard, a sports and family physician at Mayo Clinic. According to Dr. Maynard, as the pandemic has gone on, statistics indicate that sports are not the issue. Rather, data indicate the spread of Covid-19 among athletes occurs not during sports participation, but from social contact, she says. And the rate of infection is proportional to the community rate. "It's the environment of the athletes, both on and off the court or the field that makes the biggest difference, not the actual sport. Most local outbreaks are due to contact in the locker room or on the sidelines or from other social engagements outside of the sport itself," she explains. Recently, the National Federation of State High School Associations released a statement, revising its earlier “statement on risk of Covid-19 during high school sports." The biggest change is that the federation eliminated its tiered system that ranked the risk of infection by sport, says Dr. Maynard. The group instead shared findings that showed athletes playing contact sports and indoor sports are at a higher risk of illness when compared to noncontact sports or outdoor sports. But certain factors can mitigate risk. "For instance, indoor sports can be similar risk to outdoor if you use a mask, for example, with basketball or volleyball,' says Dr. Maynard. "The general consensus is that there are many more positives than drawbacks in getting athletes back engaged. For one, there's plenty of data that show those who do athletics do better in their school life and their

home life. They succeed in future jobs and leadership roles. We absolutely want to get our athletes back to play as fast as possible but as safe as possible for the benefits of both their physical and mental health." Her top tips to parents, coaches, athletic trainers — and students themselves: √ Stay on guard and continue with social distancing. √ Universally wear a mask, especially in social situations where you cannot physically distance. √ Practice proper hand hygiene and stay home when you're sick. "Lead by example to make sure we are able to continue to lower the rates of Covid19," says Dr. Maynard. n Courtesy Mayo Clinic News Network Above photo: Young athletes have eagerly welcomed a safe return to play.

Camps should have age-appropriate ways to help children practice hand hygiene, stay a safe distance from others, and wear face masks whenever possible and practical. This can be a challenge, especially for younger campers, so they will need a lot of reminders.

Are there extra safety steps taken for sports camps? In addition to the general safety steps for overnight and day camps, sports camps should follow safety guidance for drills, practices and competitions. This includes local and state rules, If you’re sending your child out of state, which can vary widely.

ummer camps can be a chance for children and teens to make friends, learn new skills, and spend time outdoors. Kids have missed out on a lot of these opportunities during the pandemic. You may be looking for a camp where your child can relax and reconnect, but worried since Covid-19 continues to be a concern. More than a year into the pandemic, studies show that camps with proper safety steps in place can greatly limit the spread of Covid-19 infections. Key steps include mask wearing, physical distancing, having smaller groups, and cleaning and disinfecting as part of the daily routine. If you're considering camp for your child this summer, whether it's a just during the day or an overnight program, start by addressing these questions.

Will most activities be indoors or outside? Having activities outdoors, with more fresh air and room to spread out, can lower the risk of spreading Covid-19. Being outside also gives children a way to connect with nature, which can boost their health and mental health after a long, stressful year. However, even outside, it is important to avoid sharing germs. Camps should limit shared equipment for games and activities and clean them often.

Is camp staff trained on the specific health needs of children? Children attending camp may be afraid of being away from home and gathering face-

to-face with others after a lengthy time at home. The camp’s health providers should have specialized training in children's health and emotional well-being. Counselors should also have training available to help children cope with stress they may be experiencing. What kind of support is available for campers with special health care needs? Camp directors should aim to meet the needs of all children. Some children with special health care needs or disabilities may need special accommodations so they can enjoy camp while being protected against Covid-19. If your child has special health care needs, talk with camp directors and your pediatrician to identify what specific accommodations your child may need. Existing plans, such as Individualized Family Service Plans and Individual Education Plans, can be helpful. How will campers move throughout the day at camp? According to the CDC, small groups of campers with dedicated staff, when possible, will help minimize Covid-19 risk. Staggered arrival and drop-off times may also help limit contact between groups. How will snacks and meals work? It may be safest for campers bring their own meals, if possible, and eat in separate areas or with their smaller group. This would be less risky than dining halls or cafeterias. Ideally, children should bring their own water bottles rather than drinking from water fountains. What extra steps are being taken at overnight camps? When looking at overnight camps, ask if children will bunk with their daytime groups and how sleeping areas will be arranged. Lining up mats or beds so that campers and staff sleep head-to-toe at least six feet apart can help limit risk, Should my child be tested for Covid-19 before or during camp? A diagnostic Covid-19 test can be useful when a camper or a staff member had a known exposure, or is showing coronavirus symptoms. In these cases, test results can help guide decisions such as who can return to camp safely, when to notify families whose children may have been exposed, or whether the camp should be closed. However, antibody blood tests should not be used in decisions about going to camp. These tests only show if someone had the virus at one point in time. They can't identify someone who still has an active infection without symptoms, for example. n Above photo: A time-honored tradition, camps are eager to welcome campers once again this summer.

Summer is on the horizon Camps are ready to rebound

ummer is just around the corner and after many months of limited activities during a long winter in a pandemic, many parents and children are looking forward to being outside and enjoying summer camp activities. There are important physical and mental health benefits to summer camp. After resisting in 2020, many parents see an antidote to a school year when their children have been glued to a computer screen. According to some camp operators, their summer programs are filling faster this year than in years before Covid. Tuitions from last summer have been rolled over for many families, giving most programs a head start in enrollment. With some camps limiting their enrollment for this summer and teen programs not offering the same number of trips as in normal times, now is the time to start making decisions if you’re preparing to place your kids in a summer program this season. Summer camps offer children opportunities for peer interaction, increased independence, leadership roles, exercise and the challenge of trying new things. These experiences are even more significant given the social limitations that the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on children. It will be important for parents to find summer camps that help children reestablish these important social connections while maintaining the important Covid-19 risk mitigation strategies to keep children healthy while at camp. Day Camps All camps will be following the CDC’s guidelines to maintain healthy environments for campers. How will your camp implement these guidelines? Creating a healthy camp environment: Camps should be clear that any camper or counselor experiencing Covid-

ture? Will the camp notify other families if a child tests positive for Covid and what will the policy be?

19 symptoms must remain at home and obtain a Covid test before returning to camp. What are your camps protocols on daily screenings and quarantine requirements for exposed campers and/or staff? Face masks and physical distancing: All campers and counselors should wear face masks. Physical distancing is particularly important during times of high intensity activity. How will the camp accommodate increased spacing of campers and counselors? What will be the maximum number of campers per group? Will the same staff be assigned to the same group everyday? Limit carpooling: Unvaccinated campers should ride to camp with people in their own household. Hygiene and cleaning: Campers and staff should wash hands frequently. Surfaces and shared objects should be wiped down often. Vaccination and infection policy: How will camps monitor campers and staff daily for Covid-19 symptoms while at camp? If a child develops symptoms, how will the camp manage sick children and facilitate their safe depar-

Sleepaway Camps Most sleepaway camps plan to create a “bubble” this summer for children. In order to do this, children and families will need to limit high risk activities and avoid large gatherings during the week before camp starts. Most camps will require a Covid test before the camper arrives and many will perform testing on campus once the camper arrives. Some issues to think about including the following. Camp arrival and risk mitigation: How will camps structure the first week of camp? Will the camp perform Covid screening tests on all campers once they arrive? Will the camp test throughout the duration of the session? Have most of the staff/counselors received the vaccine? Also determine if children will wear masks during the first few days of camp and find out if the children be in cohorts for the first week or for the entire camp session. Activities: Understand how activities will be structured and how the will camp utilize and maximize outdoor spaces, including mealtime procedures. Parent visiting days: Unfortunately, most camps will not be able to have camp visiting days as the arrival of many people outside the camp bubble carries the risk of bringing Covid into the camp environment. If your child’s camp is hosting a visiting day, it is important to ask the camp how they plan to mitigate the risk of Covid exposure. Infection policy: Understand the camp’s plan for a child that has developed Covid-like symptoms. Have they created a place to isolate sick children? If a camper does test positive for COVID, how will the camp manage quarantining bunkmates and other staff or campers exposed to the sick camper? n

or many of us, the memories of summer camp stick with us forever. They're triggered and brought to mind by the smell of a campfire, the sight of a canoe in the water or simply a cheeky song that we remember belting out with our summer friends. 2020 put a hold on the making of those memories, but as things come back to the table of opportunity, many summer programs are working diligently to create a safe space for our kids to begin to get back to the business of making memories. Whether you’re ready to register, or prefer to create your own summer memories with your children, find an option that makes you comfortable. As the end of a pandemic school year approaches, the idea of summer break may cause some stress for parents, not quite sure of what to expect or how to prepare for a happy, safe summer. While your child may be thrilled by the end of the school year, anticipating lazy days and sleeping in, the prospect of summer break isn’t quite that unalloyed pleasure for parents. And if you have a child with emotional or developmental issues who is challenging in the best of times, nothing calls on whatever extra powers you might possess more than the long break that lies ahead.

Make it visual Kids who thrive on predictability and are prone to panic over transitions —including those on the autism spectrum — benefit

from posted schedules that outline what will happen throughout the day. Make plans Try to schedule as many activities as possible that work for your family, as early as possible, and keep your kids posted. This can mean anything from “we’re going to Aunt Mary’s on Thursday for a barbecue” to having a set routine that every day, weather permitting, you’ll be going to the playground or pool. Even one such activity can give kids a center of gravity, so to speak, around which the rest of the day can be structured. Get outdoors Home has become a safe cocoon during the pandemic, but no child should spend hours in front of a screen. If camp or a local summer program isn’t in the cards, try to find something your child enjoys — riding a bike or scooter, or splashing at the pool, water park, or beach — and do it. Plus, physical activity is good for everyone’s mind, body and spirit, especially those kids with energy to burn. Maintain a behavioral system Children and teens, especially, may act like they want to be in charge, but the truth is they feel safer knowing exactly what you expect of them and the rewards that result from good behavior. This is never truer than during the seemingly boundless — and boundary-free — summer break. n

Kathleen Rice (D-Garden City). Schwartz’s app, “Covid Collaborator,” was designed to help businesses and schools reduce the potential spread of Covid-19 by having staff, faculty or students answer health screening questions before entering a facility. The app challenge is hosted by Congress members to challenge students in their districts to create and submit apps for the competition. More than 6,000 students competed nationwide the 2020 contest. Each competition is judged district by district. The first place winner in each district has their app displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building for one year and is invited to participate in the #HouseOfCode science fair, where they demonstrate the app to members of Congress. This year’s event was held remotely, from April 7 to 9. “ We h o l d t h i s c o m p e t i t i o n t o encourage students to learn to code and inspire them to consider careers in computer science,” Rice stated in a news release. “And judging by the quality of app submissions we received this year, it’s clear many stu-

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. HOCEpursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/

or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten percent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety percent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety percent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten percent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, •The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. •The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. •The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Hewlett

Unique Architectural Gem

his spectacular waterfront estate sitting on 1.76 acres was designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Robert A.M. Stern. Living in this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced. The way he designed the light to fill every space, and the views of the water at every turn, it's an art form. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is sight to be seen. The master bedroom with limitless views of the water, enormous walk in closet and spa like bath is what you'd expect from a home of this caliber. Admiring the home you can tell from the den to the formal dining room and the library that every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. If your guests decide to extend their stay the detached guest house with the pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. This is a waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your inspector is onte eeper looking out for you. He didn’t accept the work because the interior walls that were removed had an important role to play in holding your house together. Now that there are no walls running at right angles to the outside wall, the strength of the exterior walls has been reduced, enough so they can waiver in a high wind and compromise the home. In other words, the long, unbraced wall can collapse in a heavy storm. From flying in a plane, you may have heard of wind shear. It’s caused by pulsing crosswinds that work like a giant hammer, pounding directly at the wall’s surface, like pounding a big drum face, and is referred to as positive pressure. The wall is also brushed by winds that run parallel to its surface, which causes a suction known as negative pressure. Together, the pulsing is tugging at the wall and pushing it, causing opposite reactions that, if the wall isn’t properly braced, can make it come apart and wrench away from the rest of the building. By cutting the continuous top and bottom wall “plates” that run around the whole structure, the wall is no longer attached at these points. That’s one reason why windows and doors receive extra support around the openings. The “weakest links” are the places where the connection has been severed or removed altogether, as when steel beams and columns are inserted into the wall and the wood has been cut away. Some argue that the steel beam and column actually brace the structure, but only if they are attached to the surrounding dissimilar wood. In most cases, when an inspection is done, the lack of understanding of the wind shear process is revealed, and hopefully it is discovered before a disaster and not after. This can be repaired by making the wood walls connect again, using steel sheets, steel strapping or plywood that bridges the wall studs on either side of the steel column and beam. The plywood will stick out if the wall is only as thin as the column, but with large wall studs, the plywood can be recessed to be even with the rest of the carpentry.

Q. I recently got a “framing” inspection for carpentry. The inspector asked me to get all electrical wiring and plumbing pipes in before he would look at the way the wood framing was done. Then he rejected the work because of the way the beams and columns went into the walls. We had steel beams put in so we could remove all the inside walls and open the kitchen up to the living and dining Ask The rooms. It’s now one big open space. The carpenters Architect cut the wall tops and bottoms so the beam and column could go in. Is there a way to fix this, and why is it so important? The inspector said the architect would need to write a letter explaining the fix.

y March 4-10 column, “Voting is an act of choice and an expression of voice,” prompted a note from someone who wanted to talk about threats to democracy. He leads a group of citizens who support candidates, without regard to party affiliation, as long as they support the principles of democratic government. He also said the group avoids candidates on the extreme right and left. When I asked for examples of positions taken by the extreme left, he referred to U.S. RoBERT Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and SCoTT three other female members of the House of Representatives. These four popularly elected officials, however, do not advocate revolution or communism and are not anti-capitalism. Indeed, they advocate policies that the majority of Americans support. These include President Biden’s pandemic rescue plan, an infrastructure bill to repair roads and bridges and expand broadband, background checks for gun purchases, renewable energy with tax credits and increased taxes on large corporations that currently pay low or no taxes. They advocate policies

to address income inequality, climate change and international cooperation. They do not deny the protections of the Constitution. If these are far-left policies, then the majority of Americans are far left. My reader then mentioned Sen. Bernie Sanders. While Sanders calls himself a socialist, he does not advocate a government takeover of private business. He calls for protections of workers and fair treatment for those on Main Street, not just for those on Wall Street. Even Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase has cited the need to eliminate tax subsidies for hedge funds, private jets and golf courses. That’s is what socialism looks like: government subsidies for private enterprise. In contrast, the far right attempted to undo a legitimate presidential election. It also is determined to remove government regulations that ensure food and water safety. Alarmingly, members of the far right also advocate severe limitations to voting by claiming, without evidence, that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections. In sum, it appears that those my correspondent called far left support programs that most Americans view as necessary, and those he calls far right want to reduce and limit the rights of Americans. Some cite the protests associated with

Black Lives Matter gatherings as evidence of far-left activity, but those protests were largely peaceful and advocated fair treatment by police. They have not threatened lives the way white supremacist groups have in Washington, D.C., Oregon, Virginia and elsewhere, or planned to abduct an elected official, as they did in Michigan. In fact, while a 2020 review of almost 900 politically motivated acts committed since 1994 found that some were committed by farleft groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, the attacks resulted in one death. During the same 25-year span, acts committed by farright groups ended in 329 fatalities. It is true that some on the left have called for “defunding” the police in response to cases of police brutality and the use by police departments of militarystyle weapons, vehicles and tactics. But this has been largely a matter of rhetoric to force an agenda. Calls for defunding the police are a plea for shifting some funds from policing to mental health counseling, conflict-reduction training and community policing. At times, it seems the media and others promote false equivalencies in order to acknowledge both sides of an issue. But that leads to a distortion of truth, in this

hen media and others go out of their way to consider both sides of an issue.

case by claiming that there are equivalent extremists on both sides of the political aisle. We can see this in claims of “cancel culture.” Yes, speeches by some conservative commentators have been canceled because of student protests, and there are threats to free expression on some college campuses where groups try to mandate anti-racism programs. I disagree with many of these actions. Alternative points of view should be debated, presumptions of guilt should give way to evidence, and intolerance of questions has no place at a university. But these incidents pale in comparison to the far-right efforts to pass legislation controlling what can be taught and who can teach at universities, in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling. Our democracy requires truth, transparency and less anger. We need our elected officials to reflect the will of an informed citizenry and to work together for the common good. We need to protect the principles of social justice and equitable treatment. If one side is always saying no to policies that a majority of Americans support, you have to wonder why. There is no path to justice when anger prevails, when some rely on alternative facts, and when no one listens to contrary opinions. Robert A. Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and author of “How University Boards Work” (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018, Eric Hopper Awardee, 2019).

Just another day in America: Eight shot dead

don’t care if you are numb to this outrage. I don’t care if I’m numb to it. From where I sit, the carnage from gun violence in America, the continuing, ongoing, shocking deaths by gun, move to the head of the must-do list for this new administration. We know that list is long, and every one of the top five issues feels like a hemorrhaging wound that needs to be stanched. Covid vaccine rollout? Migrants at the border? Stimulus for the economy? Crumbling bridges? Insurgents RANDI storming the halls KREISS of government? Every problem demands action, but the national epidemic of gun violence speaks to a malignant cultural sickness that we need to treat now. 2020, the year of the pandemic, was the deadliest year for gun fatalities in decades, according to The Washington Post. That fact is especially interesting because the number of mass shootings (four or more people killed) decreased. Apparently, people were home more, so they just shot one

another. We are making up for the dip. Since January, we have suffered 147 mass shootings in America. Some 12,416 people were killed by guns over these four months. These are people shooting family and friends and strangers. These are suicides and armed robberies and kids picking up guns and shooting their brothers and sisters. These are drive-by hits and “accidental” killings. No one wants to take away anyone’s legally owned guns. But we need better laws to keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and unstable individuals. We need bans on military-style automatic weapons. Last week, President Biden said he would take executive action to fight what he called “an epidemic and an international embarrassment of gun violence.” It is a modest initiative. Golda Meir famously said that when Israel’s enemies loved their children more than they hated Israel, peace would be possible. The same could be said of Congress: When they love our children more than they hate standing up to the National Rifle Association, the slaughter will stop.

As I write, police are investigating a mass shooting at a FedEx outlet in Indiana. Within an hour of the murders, the usual post-massacre teams gathered at the scene: police, media by the truckload and a group that travels from killing spree to killing spree with counselors and money for funerals and warnings about post-murder scams. The fact that we have such a team in America is both an indictment of our society and, obviously, a necessity. We all know the lingo of “lockdown” and “active shooter” and PTSD caused by shootings. Really, it is an abomination that we have become so proficient at handling the tragedies rather than preventing them. Remember Sandy Hook? Dylan’s mom and Daniel’s dad write to me often. In truth, I dread reading their e-mails; their words darken the day. But how wrenching it must be to write the words. These parents are leaders of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, the group that advocates stricter gun-control laws. They are victims of the tragedy, both having lost first-graders in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Their work is pure and hero-

wo parents of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School write to me often.

ic — trying to find a slender thread of hope in the heap of terrible grief that has consumed their lives. When 20 little kids were murdered in their classrooms and no serious gun control was enacted, it was more than disheartening. The legal gridlock effectively proved the intractable power of the National Rifle Association. Schools installed locks and alarms, but this isn’t about inventing better security systems in our schools. If alligators were on the loose in schools, we wouldn’t give our kids alligator repellent. We would get rid of the alligators. In an average year in this country, guns kill some 30,000 people. The information comes from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit formed in 2013 to offer free online public access information about gun-related violence in the U.S. We need legislators to write and pass laws that will end the slaughter. Do members of Congress love their children? You bet they do. Do they love their jobs so much that they won’t stand up to the NRA? You bet they do. When they love their children, and America’s children, more than they love NRA money, we may finally see support for real gun-control laws. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

L.I. making strides on the environmental front

pril 22 is Earth Day, when we come together as a nation — and a planet — to celebrate the natural world and renew our vows to protect the environment from harm. In honor of Earth Day five years ago, the Herald developed a three-part wish list of actions that government representatives and private citizens might take to help clean up and preserve Long Island’s environment. This year, we decided to take a look back and see how we’re faring in meeting the goals on this seemingly lofty list. Point One: Cleanup of the Northrop Grumman toxic plume. In 2016, we wrote, “Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the State Department of Environmental Conservation must find a way to force Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the toxic mess they left behind in Bethpage, Wantagh and Seaford. The toxic plume that formed during World War II beneath the old Grumman aerospace plant in Bethpage is steadily moving southward. Chemicals used to manufacture naval warplanes were carelessly allowed to seep into the ground. If the plume isn’t stopped, it will eventually reach South Oyster Bay, contaminating the fragile wetland ecosystem that hugs the entire South Shore and harming, if not destroying, the area’s fishing and clamming industries. The stakes could not be higher.” We are happy to report that Cuomo announced a $406 million remediation plan in December among the state, Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the plume. The only trouble: Doing so could take 100 years, showing us, in no uncertain terms, that it’s far

How it all began In 1970, America led the way in founding the now international Earth Day movement. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Democrat, came up with the idea after witnessing the environmental devastation caused by an infamous 100,000-barrel oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1969, according to the nonprofit Earth Day Network. On the first Earth Day — April 22, 1970 — some 20 million Americans took to the streets and parks to protest widespread industrial damage to the environment. better to prevent damage to the environment through government regulation than to allow polluters to have their way. Point Two: An ocean outfall pipe for the Bay Park Water Reclamation Facility, one of two Nassau County sewage treatment plants. In 2016, we wrote, “Our federal, state and local governments must –– must –– find a way to fund an ocean outflow pipe from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, a county facility, three miles out to the Atlantic Ocean. The greatest environmental threat facing the South Shore is nitrogen-laden effluent from the treatment plant. Each day, millions of gallons of this wastewater pour out from a cement pipe in the middle of Reynolds Channel, just north of Long Beach. From there it is dispersed by the tides. “The nitrogen accelerates seaweed growth. The seaweed, which grows to unnatural lengths, easily breaks apart and rots, robbing marine life of dissolved oxygen. There are now whole sections of

letters Congratulations to the Heralds To the Editor: Congratulations to the Herald Community Newspapers on winning 26 awards at the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Week in and week out, the Heralds provide high-quality coverage of the news that matters most to our community, and the dozens of honors the newspapers received are a testament to that fact. In particular, Senior Editor Michael Smollins deserves special recognition for earning the second-place prize in the Best News Story category for his reporting on a critical environmental issue facing our communities. Likewise, Executive Editor Scott Brinton is to be commended for receiving third place in both the Best Column and Best Editorial categories, in addition to two other honors.

the Western Bays that are considered ‘dead zones.’” Today, we are happy to report that the county is moving ahead rapidly with plans to construct a $408 million pipe from the Bay Park plant under Sunrise Highway, in an abandoned aqueduct, and then on to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. From there, it will be sent three miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Point Three: Nitrogen reduction. In 2016, we wrote, “Local municipalities, businesses and even homeowners must take responsibility for the unnecessarily high amounts of fertilizers they pour on lawns to keep them emerald green. Golf courses consume vast amounts of fertilizer. So do homes. Any excess fertilizer that doesn’t dissolve into the ground is washed into street drains, and from there into the bays. Fertilizers also accelerate seaweed growth,” damaging the bays. In 2021, we are happy to report that the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan, a partnership among the DEC, the Long Island Regional Planning Council, and Nassau and Suffolk counties, has made significant progress in assessing the extent of Long Island’s nitrogen pollution and developing plans to reduce it. So much more needs to be done, however. Homeowners can help by spreading only organic fertilizers on their lawns. The organics dissolve slower in the soil and do not wash away as easily as synthetic fertilizers. Clearly, Long Island has made significant strides these past five years, which is cause for celebration. Protecting our environment, however, is a never-ending battle that we must win.

opinions

he federal Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 13 advised that states temporarily pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine. There’s no question that the cases of six women who suffered unusual blood clots — one of whom died — need to be monitored and considered closely. This is certainly an alarming setback. But the abundance of caution exhibited does not mean the vaccine is unsafe BrUCe for widespread use. Rather, it FarBer means that we are following a safety measure that was installed in the process to safeguard further patients who may be susceptible to clotting. This is what we want to see during the vaccination process, or for any medical treatment, for that matter. In fact, this news demonstrates that the process is working. Safety has always

been paramount to this massive vaccination effort, perhaps the largest clinical undertaking in centuries. This pause — and let me reiterate that it is only a pause for now — indicates that the U.S. is well organized to evaluate, and ideally prevent, these occurrences. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is used by agencies to report the side effects of vaccines, an effective and seamless way for federal agencies to alert physicians to symptoms of these seldom-seen blood clots and treat them properly if they encounter them. In terms of J&J’s vaccine, more than 6.8 million people had already received the single-shot dose before the pause, so there was about one-in-amillion chance of this severe clotting to occur. And still, the six cases were enough to persuade clinical advisers to decide to review progress before moving forward. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting to investigate these cases closely to determine their cause, and whether vaccinations should continue. Their job is to

he inoculations remain the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19.

County seeks $85 million for veterans’ care To the Editor: My administration is seeking $85 million in federal infrastructure funding to expand health care and housing for veterans. The funding would help the nassau Health Care Corporation renovate facilities to include veterans’ in-patient services and specialized care, establish a Veterans’ Adult Day Health Care Program and upgrade unoccupied apartment buildings on nHCC’s East Meadow campus to house veterans suffering from housing insecurity. The funding would preserve nHCC’s role as the region’s only public-safety-net health care system and establish an important satellite for the northport Veterans Affairs Hospital for thousands of veterans who require treatment but find it out of reach because of the distance. We have an opportunity to expand critical care and enhance quality of life for thousands of veterans who served our country. Too many veterans right now in nassau face burdensome hurdles as they travel to out-of-county facilities for specialized care. This is a chance for

openly discuss the safety and process moving forward. And in the age of misinformation, their work is critical to presenting the facts. Vaccines are the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19, and in a timely way, because timing does matter. It matters in places like Michigan, which is now seeing a fourth surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. It matters for countries like Thailand, which until now have been able to contain the virus. And it certainly matters for the loved ones of the women who suffered the blood clots. I can almost hear the faint calls of those who have been hesitant or resistant to being vaccinated. They will likely mislabel these rare side effects as common, distorting them into reasons to skip the inoculations. That would be a grave mistake and miscalculation. With Covid-19 stubbornly hanging on as the third-leading cause of death in the U.S., we cannot afford to simply eliminate this type of vaccine from our anti-pan-

demic arsenal without the most careful consideration, nor can we afford for nine million recently shipped doses to go unused. Let’s not mince words about the need for this vaccine. The World Health Organization reported that more than four million people were recently diagnosed with Covid-19 in a single week. In that context, our federal agencies bear a heavy burden as they evaluate whether these unusual medical occurrences are vaccine-related. Let’s push forward with the use of the other vaccines while we place some trust in the agencies charged with investigating the safety of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. For all of us, I hope for a better understanding of why the women suffered the severe clotting, and the establishment of parameters so we can safely resume the use of the vaccine in the near future. Bruce Farber, M.D., is the chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine for North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and is a professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

Framework by Christina Daly

the federal government to step up in the upcoming round of stimulus bill discussions to deliver for our veteran community. Veterans who live in nassau often travel hours to access enhanced medical treatments offered at VA hospitals. The closest hospitals for nassau’s more than 40,000 veterans are outside the county, in Suffolk, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The distance and time required to get to these facilities is often difficult for veterans to navigate, and as a result, a disproportionate number of veterans lack access to medical care. nassau has a proud tradition of supporting the heroes who served our country. Expanding existing services and renovating unused space in our county could help transform how nassau serves them.
